JJ Rose, Desert Vista

A 2018 All-American, Rose, a senior, was the Desert Vista team MVP and an Arizona Lacrosse League All-Arizona First-Team selection. He led the Thunder in scoring three years in a row, scoring more than 60 points his junior and senior seasons.

Congratulations to all the nominees for the azcentral sports Arizona High School Lacrosse Player of the Year. The nominees are listed in alphabetical order.

Max Freestone, Chaparral

Led his team as the starting goaltender for the past three seasons and as captain the past two. Had a stellar senior season, posting 52 percent in saves and earning 2018 First Team All-State, All-American and Defensive Player of the Year for the Arizona Lacrosse League.

Murphy Hartmann, Boulder Creek

He was in the top five in total points and assists per game. Finished second in the league in assists and was in the top 12 in goals. A multi-year captain. Played both offensively and defensively, and practically never came off the field.

Nathan Maltry, Salpointe Catholic

Led his team to the school's first undefeated regular season and state championship at the Div. I level. Tallied 81 points (5.79 points per game), tops in the state, while scoring 63 goals (4.5 goals per game). Also in the top 10 for assists.

Max Manka, Salpointe Catholic

Captain who led his school to its first undefeated regular-season and first Div. I state championship. Led the state with 138 ground balls, 43 more than the next highest player. Scored more than double the number of points for face-off wins.

Zackary Siegel, Notre Dame Prep

A junior this season, Siegel started every game on defense for Notre Dame since he arrived on campus his freshman year. The anchor for a defense that allowed a stingy 4½ goals per game, an average which led the state. He was also the highest scoring defenseman in Arizona the past two years.

Blake Storey, Notre Dame Prep

A two-sport athlete, Story excels in football but is a true offensive threat in lacrosse. Scored 55 goals as a midfielder for his team as a senior, the Div. I state champs. In fact, he was a major factor in Notre Dame's back-to-back state titles.

Victor Verbalaitis, Pinnacle

A varsity captain, he led his team in goals, ground balls and points. Scored 44 goals – tied for most in the state – and had 50 ground balls (56 total points). A First Team All-State Midfielder as a junior. Consistently the focus of other teams' defensive strategies as he often say double-teams.

Coach of the Year

Nick Hillier, Anthem Boulder Creek

A native of Colorado, Hillier moved to Arizona to attend college at Arizona State. While there, he studied aerospace engineering but also walked on as a freshman – and eventually became the captain of – the ASU Lacrosse Club. This year, his first season as Boulder Creek’s head coach started with a win over last year’s state final runner-up, Brophy. The Jaguars went a school-best 9-5 while posting wins over Chaparral, Gilbert, Arcadia, Chandler, Mountain Ridge, Corona and Pinnacle. Boulder Creek also made its first postseason appearance ever and made it to the semifinals. Hillier was voted Coach of the Year by his peers in the Arizona Lacrosse League.

How they were selected

The eight nominees for Arizona High School Lacrosse Player of the Year and the Coach of the Year were selected by the Arizona Lacrosse League.
